Excellent transport service, 100% recommended
We hired the transport service between Cairo and Alexandria, about three hours of travel, and Sheriff was our driver; he drove impeccably and responsibly despite how difficult it is to drive on the streets of Egypt. He was very punctual and very pleasant to interact with. He was very attentive to us, always offering us snacks and water during the trip and offering to stop if we needed anything along the way. We forgot one of our suitcases and he returned to get it. I would use his service again.
Operator response

Providing safe transportation, punctual service, and personalized care is always our priority. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you again on another Egypt tour
